Dora is a knitted pullover sweater designed by Marie Wallin from the Bloomsbury collection. This intermediate-level garment is available in five sizes ranging from Small (to fit bust 81-86 cm / 32-34 in) through XXL (to fit bust 122-127 cm / 48-50 in), making it suitable for a wide range of body measurements.
This design is created using the knitting craft. The sweater is worked primarily in the round using circular needles, which is a common technique for constructing seamless garments. Double-pointed needles are also required for smaller circumference sections, typically used for cuffs, necklines, and other fitted areas.
The sweater features two distinct stitch patterns:
This sweater is knitted using Rowan Felted Tweed, a DK weight yarn. The design features a sophisticated seven-color palette:
The pattern calls for three different circular needle sizes and three sets of double-pointed needles to accommodate the varying gauges used throughout the design:
Achieving proper tension is essential for this pattern's success:
The difference in gauge between plain and patterned sections reflects the typical tension changes that occur when working colorwork or textured patterns, requiring the use of a larger needle size for the patterned areas to maintain consistent garment proportions.

Rowan felted tweed is ideal for this pattern. It knits up beautifully and there is a vast range of colours to choose from. The pattern itself is very well set out with useful hints on fairisle technique and large clear charts. I love the way it’s all knitted in one piece and there will be no sewing up; even the underarms are grafted.
